This one relies on passing pointers around, so things like slices will 
have a pointer where they didn't before. The optimizer in recent GCCs 
seems to be good enough that this isn't a problem for efficiency. The 
pointers are all passed around as const (in that the pointer value can't 
be modified).

Also, parts have been reordered, so that the Vector class now deals with 
everything: the FixedVector et. al have gone. This makes writing 
(templated) functions which can accept Vectors or slices or matrix slices 
or whatever much easier.
